Travel Cot Bedside

A travel cot bedside is designed to provide a safe and a temporary sleep solution for your baby while away from home. They can be utilized in hotels, at friends homes, or even while camping.

This travel cot has an integrated bassinet for infants and has a drop side that can be operated with pressing a button. It is perfect for parents who need the extra cosiness of a bassinet while travelling.

Sturdy

A travel cot can provide your baby with a secure and comfortable sleeping space when you are away from home. They are usually lightweight, compact, and easy to put together. They are great to spend the holidays, for overnight stays at a friend's house or even when you visit relatives who live far from home. They are also ideal for parents who co-sleep with their babies but want to give them a dedicated sleeping space.

If you're in search of a travel cot that can be multi-purpose look into the Joie Kubbie Sleep. It can be used by babies as a bassinet but also as an easy rocking mat that can be used as a changing table. The built-in rocking function allows you to change your baby's nappies and then gently rock him back to sleep. It's also designed to be easy to assemble and comes in a compact travel bag.

Another alternative is the Red Kite Sleep Tight Travel Cot. It's a lot cheaper than other models but still provides excellent security and safety. It's fairly easy to put together by clicking up all four sides and then pushing down the base (although it took our at-home tester a few attempts). The mattress slides inside, and the mesh side panels allow for good airflow.

The mattress is thin and not as robust as other travel cots. It is not recommended for use over a long period of time as your baby will grow and put more stress on their joints, muscles, and bones. If your baby is able to roll into the gaps around the sides they could be at risk of developing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) through suffocation.

When choosing a travel bed the most important thing to think about is where you will be using it. If you're just going to use it for short journeys or for overnight stays at friends home, a less heavy model with a simple mattress is sufficient. If you're planning to take your child on vacation it's best to invest in an expensive model that is lighter, stable and has an extra-long mattress. The most effective travel cots fold down to an impressively small size, making them easy to put away.

Confortable

Many models of travel cribs come with additional features like an arched toy that can be used to entertain while your baby is changing, or simply to play. Some models come with a hood or canopy to protect your baby bedside co sleeper against the sun. Other models come with features such as lights, music and even vibrations.

A good choice is the Red Kite Sleeptight travel cot, which provides an ample sleeping space as well as plenty of ventilation through its mesh sides. The base can be folded down and secured using Velcro straps. A bassinet insert for babies is also available. We recommend a thicker mattress since the one that comes with it is a bit thin. The cot is light and folds down and can be stored in seconds. It also comes with a carrying case.

A multi-functional travel cot, Joie Kubbie Sleep is another well-known model. It can be used from the moment of the moment of birth. It has a drop-down side which can be adjusted at the push of a button, allowing you to access your baby in bassinet mode. The outer mesh wall and mattress cover can be taken off for easy cleaning and the bed is incredibly robust.

However, it is fairly heavy and bulky, so is best suited for people with a large car boot or who are planning to travel via bus or train. It's also expensive but if you're looking to travel frequently with your child, this could be a good investment. Finding a safe, comfy place for your child to rest away from home can make a huge difference on an excursion or visit to a family member's home. Get a top quality travel cot and your child will be able to rest comfortably on every trip.
